Official Issues with Ads from Services window? Missing assemblies? - look here

I wish those issues would be highlighted more.

I was on 2017.1.1f1 and an older project that was updated to this version continued to work, while a new one (created with 2017.1.1f1) did not. I spend a day trying to fix the new project since the older project worked after updating it to 2017.1.1f1.

Downloading patch 3 now, let's hope this works better

 

If you click on the content of the AD to download, will there be additional revenue?

 

I got it working on 2017.1.1p3, however it keeps automatically changing the Project settings to the wrong values (unclear when / why this happens).

I really recommend changing the title to something like "Issues with Ads Service, missing assemblies, etc. --- look here"

The current title suggest kind of a vague roadmap topic...

 

Привет, у меня есть встроенная реклама Unity Ads, но после примерно 20 показов объявления перестают загружаться. Если я переустановил свою игру, объявления снова отобразятся. Что может быть неправильным? спасибо

 

Hi - where do I find "ProjectSettings/UnityConnectSetting.asset file " and 2. I have latest 2018 build and this is still happening, so I'm going to use the package from the asset store. Do you know when the integrated ads will be updated with a fix?
Thanks

 

Hello. Where i can find the solution to the Unity Ads Button turning Off and dissapearing from my project inside Services? Is this a bug?

 

I've got the same issue using 2018.2.8 where I need to manually initialise my game to get Ads to work when using Ads services (i.e. not the package)
I seemed to be missing some variables from the UnityConnectSetting.asset file and entered them as the OP mentions, my UnityAdsSettings entry is as follows:

UnityAdsSettings:

    m_Enabled: 1

    m_InitializeOnStartup: 1

    m_TestMode: 0

    m_EnabledPlatforms: 4294967295

    m_IosGameId: #######

    m_AndroidGameId: #######

    m_GameIds:

      AndroidPlayer:

      iPhonePlayer:

    m_GameId:

I added the EnabledPlatforms entry and added my game ids to the relevant entries but I still need to manually initialise the game
(The hashes replace my game ids. not sure if making them public is a good idea or not!)

 

I'm having the same issue Razorlance is having. When I add m_EnabledPlatforms: 4294967295 and save it, it goes away. Android ads work perfect, editor ads work perfect, just iOS messing up. It crashes the game when the ad is supposed to run.

 

I'm using the monetization SDK and have been having a stupendous amounts issues with it. After spending a lot of time googling I've managed to get the test ads to work in the editor. I've removed advertisements from the package manager. I've switched off ads from the services menu. I've changed the UnityConnectSettings.asset file to match the above with my own game id but still i cant get the ads to show on an android device.
test ads work only in the editor. So what is the solution now as for my project, the solution above does not work.

UPDATE: just noticed that after changing the unityconnectsettings.asset file it keeps changing back to exclude the line - m_EnabledPlatforms: 4294967295 - tried it multiple times but it wont retain that line.

 

Info on this forum was very useful for me today, thanks. Just wanted to post the resolution to an issue I was having here, since it wasn't immediately obvious. Ran into the following build error on Android after (incorrectly) setting up Unity Ads - "com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Error while merging dex archives"

The issue was that I had Ads turned on in Unity Services so it was included via Package Manager, but also had imported the Monetization package from the Asset Store. Removing the latter (including the Plugins folder) allowed me to solve the issue; also required was switching my script implementation from the Monetization namespace to Advertisements.

Googling that error led me down a few rabbit holes, and it took some more searching online to realize that there are different script implementations for the Asset Store vs. Services integrations

 

Where exactly can I find this at?





I went to Edit>>Project Settings>> (Where to go from here?)

 

I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out what is going wrong... I have updated to the latest unity (2018.3.11f1) and pulled in the latest version of advertisement via Packages (3.0.3). ads do not work in editor or live. Advertisement.IsReady() always returning false... this is on a build that is already in production, just gotten latest and tried to publish and found the ads failing to work. please tell me some things to try

 

I am also running into issues where Advertisement.IsReady() always returns false.

Moreover, in Services/Ads window in the editor it always shows that I need to import the latest Unity Ads plugin from the asset store - which I did, but it keeps saying the same thing. Is there a way to force import this plugin? Because I have tried numerous things, but without success. I am on Unity 2018.2.21f1 (because of UnityScript I'm using in the game), but the same thing happened with 2018.3.11f1 that I tried to install and see if it would work there.

Another funny symptom is: If I just open my backed-up project and I make an Android build - ads work just fine. However, the moment I open Services and go into Ads, the notification pops up and I'm screwed from then on - all subsequent builds won't deliver videos.

How can I make Unity realize that I have updated the Unity Ads to the latest version?

 

Have you tried uninstalling Unity Monetization plgin, then import using UnityEngine.Advertisements ? From my understanding, the only real difference is that if there's an update to Unity Ads they can send the update directly to Unity Monetizaion, whereas, using Advertisements, you'd have to wait until the next Unity version update. That's why they recommend Unity Monetization, however, I can't get past this bug we're experiencing. Adverisements didn't work for me either, but I was using an Alpha version at the time. Both said "everything looks good" but niether would show ads in game. Annoying!

Also note- Unity forum is seemingly useless. The Unity staff don't even try to pretend they care. S***ty!

 

You need to open Windows Explorer to your Project folder (or open a shell on Mac) and manually edit the file either using Notepad or VI - You won't be able to edit this inside of Unity. Unfortunately its not as easy to do in Windows as it is on a Mac. I'm hoping after installing the BASH shell on Windows that it will be easy to do.

 

It looks like you can't use this hack anymore (I'm using 2018.2) Any suggestions on what to try? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin, turning off and on services and now I'm looking at removing Unity Ads and installing Admob if it will allow me to play an ad as I've lost so much time on this!

 

Updated it for you: State and the future of the Unity Ads services integration = Arbitrarily non-functional and not even remotely practical
